NOVEL WEB Chapter 132: Wei Jia and An Tong
Regarding Li Jing's words, Wei Jia naturally couldn't bother to respond, so the two ended the conversation in what seemed like a joking manner.
Watching Li Jing's back as he walked away, Wei Jia retracted her feigned angry expression and instead slightly frowned.
She found that when Li Jing joked so brazenly, she didn't actually get angry; instead, she found an unusual kind of enjoyment in occasionally bickering with him.
With other men, she might have already felt dissatisfied or even repulsed.
But in front of Li Jing, she didn't even feel like she was in control, let alone in charge.
This made her, who was used to being in control of the whole situation, start to feel a little unfamiliar with herself.
What's wrong with me...
Could it be that this guy really has a hold over me?
Wei Jia covered her forehead, her eyes shifting several times, but she still couldn't figure out the answer she needed.
In the end, she could only take a deep breath, trying to calm her mind, and then she walked back to the meeting room where everyone else was.
The investment procedures and documents were numerous, and An Tong spent nearly an hour working with the staff.
Fortunately, with An Tong meticulously overseeing and reviewing everything, Li Jing was saved a lot of trouble. Apart from signing his name, he only needed to leisurely drink coffee on the side and occasionally bicker with Wei Jia. This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.
Wen Lan watched Wei Jia and Li Jing from the side, feeling an indescribable strangeness in her heart, especially seeing her usually aloof and domineering bestie become a calculative little woman in front of him. She really couldn't accept it.
Does Li Jing really have such a great power?
...
Then, once all procedures were completed.
The staff and An Tong each put away their materials and documents, successfully ending this round of work.
As everyone left the hotel, taking advantage of the moment when Li Jing and Wen Lan were discussing movies, Wei Jia glanced at An Tong, who was following not far behind, squinted slightly, and then walked over with a calm expression.
"President Wei?"
Seeing her approach, An Tong was surprised and then asked politely, "Is there anything else?"
"Nothing, just wanted to chat with you casually."
Standing beside An Tong, Wei Jia exuded a faint aura of authority and aloofness that made An Tong's heart slightly tense, and she instinctively stood up straighter.
"You are indeed quite pretty."
Hearing Wei Jia's sudden compliment, An Tong was taken aback and then looked at her awkwardly smiled, "President Wei, you're also very beautiful."
"Oh, really?"
Regarding An Tong's compliment, Wei Jia didn't have much of a reaction but asked in return, "Then who do you think is prettier between us?"
"Huh?"
An Tong didn't expect her to say such a thing and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Seeing her innocent reaction, Wei Jia made her own judgment about An Tong, then chuckled lightly, "Just a joke, don't mind it."
"No, it's nothing." An Tong forced a smile.
"How long have you been with Li Jing?"
Wei Jia casually glanced at her attire and then asked, "Were you an assistant before?"
"Uh, no..."
Mentioning her assistant identity, An Tong was still somewhat guilty and unconfident, especially in front of a serious businesswoman like Wei Jia, she awkwardly replied:
"Well, I'm currently learning, and President Li is quite tolerant of me. I have downloaded materials and courses from the internet and tried to learn about potential work in advance."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jia slightly raised an eyebrow, looked at her delicate face, and asked, "So, the contract review and all those things were self-taught as well?"
"Yes, I learned it before and refreshed my knowledge last night." An Tong felt like she was being interrogated and inexplicably nervous.
She didn't like this feeling, so she gathered her courage and looked at Wei Jia, actively saying, "Did I do something wrong before?"
Wei Jia and An Tong looked at each other for a few seconds, then smiled, "No, you've done very well. I thought you were a professional."
Hearing this, An Tong was slightly surprised, then immediately replied, "Thank you, I still have a lot to learn."
Seeing her reaction and demeanor, Wei Jia didn't feel any aversion; instead, she gained more appreciation for An Tong's attitude toward work.
Then, she took out a business card and handed it to her, "This is my business card, and it has my assistant's phone number. If you need to learn anything in the future, you can ask her."
Looking at the business card handed to her, An Tong was surprised. Although she didn't know why the other party was helping her, she politely accepted the card and expressed her gratitude.
"I'll be working with Li Jing more in the future, so I also hope his assistant can be more professional. You don't need to thank me too much."
Speaking of this, Wei Jia noticed that Wen Lan and Li Jing had finished talking, ready to leave, and she seemed to have thought of something, asked An Tong: "I heard from Li Jing that you're running your own social media account? What's the direction?"
"Huh?"
An Tong didn't expect her to know about this, first looked surprised, then honestly replied, "I'm on the fashion blogger route because I like it myself, so..."
Before she could finish, Wei Jia nodded, "Sounds good; women should have their own careers, especially following someone as romantic as your President Li."
Hearing this, An Tong hadn't understood the meaning of her last sentence before Wei Jia already turned away, only waving her hand and leaving one last thing, "I got your WeChat from someone, remember to accept it."
"Huh?"
An Tong was shocked, quickly pulling out her phone, and sure enough, she found a friend request in her WeChat.
After she accepted, the first message Wei Jia sent was: "Xiaotong, don't tell Li Jing about me adding you as a friend, let's secretly be friends."
Seeing the smile emoji sent by the other party, An Tong was completely confused.
What the... is going on?
...
After Wen Lan and Wei Jia left, Li Jing and An Tong stood at the hotel entrance, watching their car drive away. Meanwhile, a familiar prompt sounded in Li Jing's mind.
"A Romance of the White-Haired Flowers, dramas join the eternal years together.
The host spends five million to experience acting in films, enjoying different life experiences and joys. Positive emotion gains one star, rewards refunds worth fifty million.
The remaining amount is one hundred eighty-two million, three hundred thirty thousand."
Having just invested five million into the movie and already earned forty-five million back, Li Jing raised his eyebrows high, feeling a rush of satisfaction, and couldn't help but wrap his arm around An Tong's slender waist.
An Tong was slightly startled, then glanced around, seeing no one paying attention to them, blushing slightly, she asked, "What's up?"
"Nothing, just felt you worked great today." Li Jing, in a cheerful mood, the corner of his lips slightly raised, turned to look at An Tong in his arms and said, "How about I buy you a gift as a reward?"
"This… isn't necessary."
An Tong was surprised, then said, "This is my basic job; it's enough that I don't bring trouble to you."
"No, you not only didn't bring trouble but did very well."
Li Jing looked her up and down and ultimately focused on her wrist, thoughtfully nodding, "Hmm, you and I, we both lack something on our hands, I'll buy you a watch as a reward then."
"You want to give me a watch?"
An Tong was startled, knowing that whatever he gifted wouldn't be cheap, quickly said, "If you really want to give a reward, just buy something casual, nothing too expensive."
"I've always been clear with rewards and punishments, you did well, naturally, you deserve a reward. Also hoping you could do better in the future; isn't this something a boss should do."
Seeing that Li Jing had made up his mind, An Tong no longer declined, thinking that she might have a valuable watch, her heart couldn't help but be filled with joy and expectation.
At the same time, she secretly decided to quickly improve her professional abilities to better assist Li Jing, so she could be worthy of the money he spent on her.
Thinking about this, An Tong couldn't help but recall the business card Wei Jia gave her and the matter of adding her on WeChat. Without hesitation, she directly told him.
Upon hearing this, Li Jing was surprised. Although he didn't know what Wei Jia wanted to do, he was even more curious about An Tong's thought: "Didn't Wei Jia tell you not to tell me? Why did you tell me?"
Hearing this, An Tong said as a matter of course: "I am your assistant, of course, I have to tell you everything, especially things that might involve you."
Hearing this, Li Jing smiled and couldn't help but hug her and give a peck, "Alright, since you're so understanding, it seems I really have to buy you that gift."
